60th TCG Crew in Ireland July 1942 - 10/18/2006 05:40:20 PM
Hello all,

I am wondering if anyone might recognise these names listed below as being members of the 60th TCG.  Some of them are members of a C-47 crew and others are from a bomber crew, all onboard a C-47 which made an emergency landing at Rinneanna Airfield (now Shannon) on July 6th 1942 in Ireland.  The names and spelling come from the Irish Army Intelligence Report and there are likely spelling errors therein.  I am fairly certain that Ludolph is correct as he can be found on the ABMC site.  I also believe F G Altman to be correct from the National WW2 memorial.  The non officers with out question marks I was able to find on the NARA AAD.  Note again spellings maybe wrong and serial numbers are somewhat askew also.

If anyone can help.

regards

Dennis Burke

Just to follow up, I've been able to confirm (as such) that the first four men were with the 12th TCS then, the next four were with the 97th Bomb Group.

If any names ring a bell, do shout.

Thanks Dennis
